David Dale - Retiral and Death

Retiral and Death

Dale retired to his country retreat a few miles from Glasgow - "Rosebank" in Cambuslang, though he died at his house in Charlotte Street in 1806. His funeral cortège was followed to St David's Church (the Ramshorn Kirk) in Glasgow' Ingram Street by some of the most prominent figures of the day. His grave in the south east corner of the kirkyard has the simple inscription "David Dale, Merchant". Dale's grandson and namesake David Dale was created a baronet in 1895 (see Dale baronets).

Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Thou hast made me, and shall thy work decay?
    Repair me now, for now mine end doth haste;
    I run to death, and death meets me as fast,
    And all my pleasures are like yesterday.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)
